Environment and Radiation Protection

Supporting environmental protection programs at nuclear facilities

Protecting the environment is an integral component of any operation performed at a nuclear facility. It is Calian Nuclear's mission to provide a comprehensive solution for evaluating environmental programs, processes, consequences and monitoring effluents from nuclear facility operations. These services include:

Emergency Preparedness

Designing, developing and delivering all-hazards emergency exercises

One of Calian Nuclear’s core capabilities is developing training and exercise programs, as well as developing, conducting and evaluating exercises to assist clients in continued improvements in operational preparedness. Calian Nuclear has an in-house, proven methodological approach to developing and executing exercises that is based on Canadian and International best practices. Clients at all levels of government have worked with Calian Nuclear to deliver effective exercises involving all-hazards. Calian Nuclear’s services in delivering exercises include:

Developing training and exercise programs

Designing, conducting and evaluating all levels of emergency response exercises based on client objectives

Improving the realism and effectiveness of exercises by utilizing innovative simulation tools

Providing innovative simulation-based tools to support operations, training and exercises

Realism in training and exercise ensures improved results during real events. Calian Nuclear has developed a number of innovative tools to improve the realism of our training and exercise programs. For example:

Calian Nuclear works with many government departments and agencies, at all levels of government, to address safety and security challenges through the development of long-term emergency management programs. These include highly specialized Nuclear Emergency Response (NER) and Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosives (CBRNE) programs. The scope of these programs includes:

Providing Threat, Risk or Vulnerability Assessments to support risk-based planning

Conducting capability analyses and producing gap analysis reports

Road Map recommendations for gap closure

Developing or updating plans and procedures, including concepts of operations

Utilizing internationally recognized experts in the field, Calian Nuclear has conducted CBRNE capability and capacity building for ministries and organizations in Canada, Europe and the Middle East. This experience has led to the development of a fully mature and refined CBRNE program development process. Dependant on the maturity of the CBRNE programs within the interested organization, some or all of the following steps can be implemented by Calian Nuclear to ensure a fully effective CBRNE response program:

Development of national and ministry level CBRNE programs, plans, procedures and processes

Conduct a detailed review of the current training program used by military units and first responders and document the gaps in training that need to be addressed

Development of proposed equipment acquisition, training, drill and exercise programs

Provision of awareness and basic level CBRNE training

Particularization and delivery of intermediate CBRNE training to be delivered in UAE

Design and delivery of CBRNE drills and tabletop exercises

Particularization and delivery of advanced "train the trainer" CBRNE training for future instructors from participating organizations

Calian Nuclear has the ability to develop customized training for any client or to provide pre-developed courses in order to meet the specific requirements of our clients. Calian Nuclear’s staff is often called upon to assist other countries or international organizations in providing both emergency management and technical training. Here is a sample of the training offered:
